As a cornerstone of the global functional ingredient market, blueberry extracts (derived from Vaccinium corymbosum and its wild counterpart Vaccinium myrtillus) serve as a primary source of high-potency antioxidants. The primary active compounds, anthocyanins and pterostilbene, are recognized globally for their clinical efficacy in cardiovascular health, visual acuity enhancement, and cognitive support. For global manufacturers and formulators in dietary supplements, cosmetics, and food sectors, securing a validated, scalable, and compliant raw material supply chain is paramount.
At UniCare, we bridge the gap between premium agricultural resources and advanced technological extraction. Our wholesale operations supply standardizations containing up to 25% Anthocyanins by HPLC/UV, ensuring phytochemical preservation and batch-to-batch repeatability. By utilizing advanced chromatography and state-of-the-art purification techniques, we provide the global market with botanical extracts that align with EU, USDA, and China pharmacopoeial regulations.

UniCare invests 10% of our annual net profit in research and development. In addition to optimizing and developing the existing natural plant extraction process, we have also established a professional R&D department for the natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in natural fermentation products, we try to break through the traditional processes and disrupt industry development.
UniCare has deep cooperation with Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, jointly developing and transforming the new raw materials of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and natural health products into mass-produced products.
In order to control raw materials more efficiently and with higher quality, a raw material procurement system has been established, which extends procurement to every piece of planting land and can trace the raw materials of each batch of products. The storage of raw materials is operated according to the advanced quality management system process, and the content of active ingredients, moisture, ash, heavy metals, pesticide residues and other items of raw materials are strictly controlled.
At the same time, in order to further ensure the high quality of important products, UniCare cooperated with planting farmers to establish ginkgo leaf planting bases, epimedium planting bases, phellodendron planting bases, olive leaf planting bases, etc. Some of these bases are planted strictly in accordance with the GACP management model. In addition, we cooperate with seedling research and development companies to develop high-content seedling cultivation, and cultivate better seedlings through hybridization or gene optimization, so as to continuously reduce unit costs to benefit users.
Integrating vast agricultural corridors with advanced downstream industrial processing allows China to dominate the global supply of premium botanical active ingredients.
Our extraction facilities have direct access to China’s key blueberry cultivation zones across the Daxing'an Mountains (wild species) and Yunnan provinces. This geographic proximity guarantees fresh raw materials with optimal initial anthocyanin counts, processed within hours of harvesting to limit degradation.
By using modern countercurrent extraction coupled with low-temperature vacuum concentration and spray-drying, we avoid thermal destruction of delicate antioxidants. This matches the extraction output of top Western processing hubs while maintaining competitive unit economics.
Our dual-GMP workshop infrastructure allows for uninterrupted mass production cycles. We easily scale up runs to meet multiton orders without compromising batch uniformity, offering a stable supply option for global commercial campaigns.
From dietary formulations to cosmetic applications, high-purity blueberry extract forms the baseline of many premium products.
Widely utilized as the active agent in vision health capsules, cognitive performance formulas, and general antioxidant tablets. Standardized anthocyanins have been clinically studied for promoting microvascular circulation in the retina and supporting memory function.
For health drinks, powder mixes, and fortified functional food products. Our high water-solubility grade ensures complete clarity in liquids without sediment buildup, off-flavors, or precipitate formation, maintaining perfect sensory profiles.
Incorporated into anti-aging skincare creams, serums, and dermal lotions. Natural antioxidants help neutralize free radicals caused by UV exposure and environmental stress, protecting skin structural proteins like collagen and elastin.
Exporting botanical extracts globally requires navigating complex food safety laws, customs requirements, and compliance parameters. UniCare maintains a strong regulatory framework, ensuring that all wholesale shipments of blueberry extract arrive at our clients' facilities with fully verified compliance documents.
Our dedicated regulatory department handles international registrations and certifications. We cooperate with global laboratories (SGS, Eurofins) to provide third-party validation reports for pesticide screens, ethylene oxide (EtO) residues, heavy metals, and solvent limits. Whether you are formulating under FDA guidelines, European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) parameters, or China’s National Standards (GB), UniCare supports your product registration pipeline.
